I went here to have a lunch while waiting for my kid to finish her summer activity nearby. I liked my cappuccino. I liked my english breakfast (however im not a fan of crispy bacon) And one thing stood out is the hospitality of the waiter. Price is reasonable.

If you stay in East Finchley this is a very nice place to get a decent breakfast. Very friendly staff. Also a good place for bringing the dog.

I went there for brunch over the weekend. The place was lovely and the people were quite friendly. The menu had all the classics that you can find at other cafés too, but the quality of the dishes was great. The service was quite fast and even price-wise, it was standard.

Lovely place for breakfast or brunch. Eggs are surely fresh. Coffee is good. Average prices if not on the high side. I would recommend this place for new parents and mid-sized groups as there is enough space for a buggy and they have booths. Probably worth knowing it is not a terribly fast-paced place. It can be slow as I went there at 9am and they said it was 15minutes wait for my food as the grills had just been turned on (even though they say they open from 8.30am).

The food was really good and you could tell the chef had put a lot of effort into the food. The menu had a wide range of breakfasts to suit all tastes. Also, the chef was friendly and our waitress was very nice to us. Although the food was the best, I didn’t really like all of their songs but that’s probably my taste in music
